...draws on a myriad genres, from the bluegrass track "She Says It's All Right" to the fast-paced pseudo-punk of "Insomnia." The radio single "Getting By" is a simple pop rock track does not provide the listener with an adequate sample of Sharp's surprising talent to blend Weezer garage rock with a refreshing touch of synthesizers, samples, and silliness...
...album, Surreal is not bad. Somewhat of a cross between the Smashing Pumpkins and the Goo Goo Dolls, Swimmer's style is a mix of rough-edged rock and grating vocals. Named after the Burt Lancaster movie "The Swimmer," Swimmer produces lyrics that aren't especially interesting--your regular blend of hostility, angst, and stale emotion--but they do work for the group's rock and punk tendencies with a slight alternative twist.

Likewise, The Harmonists are not above mushy displays of affection, a fact which director Joseph Vilsmaier impresses upon us by repeatedly showing them joining hands in the tedious...
Weekends. In college, given the absence of the aforementioned formal scholastic schedule, the weekends can sometimes blend into the rest of the week. There's no respect for the sanctity of the Lord's days, and instead of watching the third round of the Buick Open, you may actually find yourself being productive. So, while you still have the choice, do nothing on the weekends. "Lounge, lounge, lounge," should be your mantra...
